Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line
by computerwiz on Oct.26, 2010, under Computer Wiz - Blog
ADSL or Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line as we know it is a broadband technology or data communications technology that makes use of fixed line copper that originates from your closest telkom exchange and terminates in your home. The same pair of copper used by your telephone is used for your Broadband connection or Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line. The word ADSL or Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line means that the speed is not the same in both directions, namely upload and download speeds.
The distance an ADSL works over a pair of copper wires is directly related to the thickness and length of that copper wire installed at your home or business.
Most ADSL connections are able to work to a distance of +/- 5.5km but this distance could be more, based on the quality of your copper and the type of adsl modem used.
Call Computer Wiz today and ask us about providing you with an ADSL connection.

Free Internet for iBurst customers

Free Internet for iBurst Customers.
Insomnia rocks!
iBurst launches three month trial for free Internet after midnight.
Broadband provider introduces a free three-month trial for current iBurst Wireless subscribers. iBurst is to launch free Internet access between midnight and 8am to active iBurst Wireless customers during a three month trial to start 1 April 2010.
The trial is open to both contract and month-to-month subscribers on all iBurst Wireless packages. Subscribers will be able to use the Internet freely between midnight and 8am, with all traffic being zero-rated and therefore not counting towards their monthly bandwidth allocation.
Having free Internet access at these late hours is extremely useful to people synchronizing their online backups, doing large file transfers or for late-night surfing sessions.
This service is initially being introduced as a free trial to ensure that iBurst can ensure a good customer experience and to test market viability before officially launching it as a value added service, set for July this year.
“We are always looking for ways to improve the affordability and accessibility of our broadband products,” says iBurst CEO Jannie van Zyl. “This is a value add for people who are online late at night. With many users performing specific functions at this time, we felt there was an opportunity to reduce the cost of access even more for our customers and give them unmatched value in the wireless broadband space. Already the most cost effective wireless broadband provider, iBurst is working hard to deliver cheaper, better solutions to those who don’t have access to wireline systems.”
The “After Hours” free Internet service will give iBurst Wireless subscribers an uncapped experience after midnight to allow them to do batch uploads or downloads, backups, late night surfing or gaming sessions. This is the first of a number of initiatives from iBurst in the next three months that will see the broadband provider launching even more services to provide wireless Internet services at wireline-like pricing. In addition, exciting new wire-line services are on the cards.
“iBurst has consistently differentiated itself in the wireless space by bringing its pricing down to stay in line with wireline technologies. We want to set our price, and how we deliver the services, so that it is easier to compare iBurst wireless with the fixed line services, although our true competitors in this space are the mobile carriers with 3G,” says van Zyl.
If you need Internet today, then download the iBurst application form today. Hopefully you can receive free internet too.
